Metabones Alpa Lens to Sony NEX Camera Speed Booster

Description

The Metabones Alpa Lens to Sony NEX Camera Speed Booster allows a full frame Alpa lens to be mounted to an NEX APS-C format camera and in doing so increases the angle of view and increases the maximum aperture one f/stop. The lens follows this tradition of uncompromising precision robust build quality and outstanding finish. It uses matte-black treatment to keep internal reflection to a minimum in order to maintain the maximum optical quality possible with the lens.

Contrary to the popular trend of other factories using an aluminum ring painted black on the camera-body-side we instead take no short-cut but use precision-machined brass with chromium plating on both the camera-body and the lens sides of our adapters in order to ensure smooth mounting great appearance and durability.

The lens side of the adapter features a strong leaf-spring structure strengthening the adapter-lens connection and ensuring tightness of the lens in order to reduce wear and prevent focus errors and optical alignment issues from appearing.

This Metabones Speed Booster has two different operation modes Green and Advanced. In Green Mode battery power is conserved by reducing certain functions. For example in Green Mode there is no depth of field preview and no auto magnify manual focus assist. The operation mode is set when you mount the lens.

The lens’ aperture is set to wide open for ease of focusing while the Wide-Open (WO) button of the Metabones Speed Booster is depressed. Release the button and the lens will return to the aperture set on the camera. This wide-open function is automatically shut off when you actually take a picture and during movie capture.

This adapter has a detachable tripod foot that is compatible with Arca Swiss Markins and Photo Clam ball heads.
